Sakana AI has added a new feature called Sakana Translate to its chat service, Sakana Chat. It handles bidirectional translation across Japanese, English, and Chinese. The translation engine is Namazu, the company’s model series adapted for Japanese.
Sakana Translate ships as a free web app. A single account unlocks all three of its modes.
What is Sakana Translate
Sakana Translate is a browser-based translation product, not a new base model. It runs on Namazu, Sakana AI’s Japan-adapted model series.
The concept Sakana AI states is ‘deep translation for Japan.’ The goal goes beyond swapping words and sentence structures. It aims to carry context, tone, and register between languages.
